I would say so far this winter it has been a mild one for us and no snow and I don't think anyone is complaining. I have lived in Jersey my whole life and some years Old Man Winter shows up and some he takes a vacation. So far he's been away, but this weekend he's coming back and like I say in my title "Old Man Winter is Gonna Punch Us in the Face This Weekend".

To be honest, I do like a good snowstorm, I don't want a bunch, but a good storm or two in the winter is nice. I also ask they arrive Friday or Saturday night so I don't have to work the next day. Snow at Christmas would be magical but a "White Christmas" hardly ever happens here in New Jersey.

According to TripSavvy, our coldest month, on average in New Jersey, is January so now that we are in February we are in better shape. Well not this weekend, because Old Man Winter is visiting and it looks frigid!
